Use 5S Shadow Board Stickers to organise your tools and make your work activities more efficient

Shadow Boards make visual management of tools and equipment very easy. They organise your tools and ensure point of use for the task at hand as well as helping to support missing tool accountability. They are instrumental in the implementation of 5S lean strategies by providing visual management of tools and equipment for the task at hand. They maximise the assembly bench space by keeping the tools away from the immediate task or operation, but within easy reach for the operator take.

Shadow Boards are proven to reduce time taken searching for missing tools resulting in a positive impact on Takt, cycle and processing times. A shadow board is a device for organising a set of tools associated to a particular task, set of tasks or a process. The board defines where particular tools should be placed when the operator has finished using the tool (the tool’s home).

Shadow boards have the outline or silhouette of the tool shape on the board, allowing operators to identify quickly which tools are in use or missing.
